KARACHI: Sindh Chief Minister Syed Murad Ali Shah yesterday directed authorities to complete the Jam Sadiq Interchange within two months, shortening the original three-month timeline to address traffic issues in the area.

During an inspection visit to Shahrah-e-Bhutto, the Chief Minister reviewed progress on key infrastructure projects including the Jam Sadiq Interchange, Quaidabad Interchange, and the Shahrah-e-Bhutto expansion.

He was accompanied by Senior Minister Sharjeel Memon, Local Government Minister Saeed Ghani, and Karachi Mayor Murtaza Wahab. He instructed the project director to accelerate work post-Eid and emphasized strict adherence to the new timeline for completion of the Jam Sadiq Interchange.

He also visited a roundabout near the Causeway and asked for its early completion while urging officials to find ways to improve traffic flow towards DHA and Ayesha Masjid.

The chief minister announced a plan to link Shahrah-e-Bhutto to the Karachi Seaport over the next three years. The proposed connection between the Karachi Port Trust and Shahrah-e-Bhutto aims to improve transportation of goods.

He also inspected the Yellow Line Jam Sadiq Bridge and instructed Sharjeel Memon to ensure its completion within two months. Officials were directed to prepare detailed traffic solution drawings for discussion in an upcoming meeting later this week.

Before reaching the Quaidabad Interchange site, the chief minister personally paid the toll at Shahrah-e-Bhutto Toll Plaza.

At the Quaidabad Interchange, officials informed him that the entry and exit ramps had been completed, with the interchange expected to open by the end of April or the first week of May. He urged quick operationalization to ease travel for commuters.

He further ordered the expedited construction of a four-kilometre elevated road from Quaidabad to Samo Goth, noting its importance for residents in the area.
